Let them not feed or drink water, 8 but let man and (H)beast be covered with sackcloth, and let them call out mightily to God. (I)Let everyone turn from his evil way and from (J)the violence that is in his hands. 9 (K)Who knows? God may turn and relent (L)and turn from his fierce anger, so that we may not perish.”

Israel Has Not Returned to the Lord
6 “I gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities,
and (A)lack of bread in all your places,
(B)yet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.
7 “I also (C)withheld the rain from you
when there were yet three months to the harvest;
(D)I would send rain on one city,
and send no rain on another city;
one field would have rain,
and the field on which it did not rain would wither;
8 so two or three cities (E)would wander to another city
to drink water, and would not be satisfied;
(F)yet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.
9 (G)“I struck you with blight and mildew;
your many gardens and your vineyards,
your fig trees and your olive trees (H)the locust devoured;
(I)yet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.
10 “I sent among you a pestilence (J)after the manner of Egypt;
I killed your young men with the sword,
and (K)carried away your horses,[a]
and (L)I made the stench of your camp go up into your nostrils;
(M)yet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.
11 “I overthrew some of you,
(N)as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah,
and you were (O)as a brand[b] plucked out of the burning;
(P)yet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.
12 “Therefore thus I will do to you, O Israel;
because I will do this to you,

8 The lion has roared;

9 Proclaim to the strongholds in (B)Ashdod
and to the strongholds in the land of Egypt,
and say, “Assemble yourselves on (C)the mountains of Samaria,
and see the great tumults within her,
and (D)the oppressed in her midst.”
10 “They do not know how to do right,” declares the Lord,
(E)“those who store up violence and robbery in their strongholds.”
11 Therefore thus says the Lord God:
(F)“An adversary shall surround the land
and bring down[a] your defenses from you,
and (G)your strongholds shall be plundered.”
12 Thus says the Lord: (H)“As the shepherd rescues from the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, (I)so shall the people of Israel (J)who dwell in Samaria be rescued, with the corner of a couch and part[b] of a bed.
13 “Hear, (K)and testify against the house of Jacob,”
declares the Lord God, (L)the God of hosts,
14 “that on the day I punish Israel for his transgressions,
(M)I will punish the altars of Bethel,
and (N)the horns of the altar shall be cut off
and fall to the ground.
15 (O)I will strike (P)the winter house along with (Q)the summer house,
and (R)the houses of ivory shall perish,
and the great houses[c] shall come to an end,”
declares the Lord.

before (B)his army,
for his camp is exceedingly great;

(F)who can endure it?
Return to the Lord
12 “Yet even now,” declares the Lord,
(G)“return to me with all your heart,
(H)with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning;
13 and (I)rend your hearts and not (J)your garments.”
Return to the Lord your God,
(K)for he is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love;
(L)and he relents over disaster.
14 (M)Who knows whether he will not turn and relent,
and (N)leave a blessing behind him,
(O)a grain offering and a drink offering
for the Lord your God?
15 (P)Blow the trumpet in Zion;
(Q)consecrate a fast;
call a solemn assembly;
16 gather the people.
(R)Consecrate the congregation;
assemble the elders;
(S)gather the children,
even nursing infants.
(T)Let the bridegroom leave his room,
and the bride her chamber.
17 (U)Between the (V)vestibule and the (W)altar
(X)let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep
and say, “Spare your people, O Lord,
and make not your heritage a reproach,
a byword among the nations.[a]
(Y)Why should they say among the peoples,
‘Where is their God?’”

but the word of our God will stand forever.
